Personal project

Get Weather is an Android app that allows users to check the weather for a specific area using GPS location or by specifying a particular city.

Get Weather is developed as a personal project to start working with APIs and data structure and management from the front end.

Using the Open Weather Map APIs, the app is able to retrieve the temperature, wind speed and direction, weather conditions and the maximum and minimum temperature recorded in the last hour.

All this information is displayed to the user through an interface that also includes a night mode.

What I learned?

Get Weather is a project created to learn how to use APIs and manage their data for internal use. The lessons learned during its development are:

  • The functioning of APIs

  • Handling JSON files and converting them to classes for easy data access

  • Requesting permission to access various mobile device functionalities (GPS)

  • Making queries through an API

  • Implementing a night mode

  • Exporting the application as an .apk for installation in Android Devices
